Blended by Drew Estate torcedores in response to the request that they no longer smoke Liga Privada cigars because of the short supply, the Liga Undercrown uses many of the same tobaccos of Liga Privada, but of different vintages and primings.

Specifications

Brands

Liga Undercrown Maduro

Frustrated with no longer being allowed to smoke Liga Privada due to short supply, the torcedores at La Gran Fabrica de Tabacos Drew Estate came up with their own blend that uses many of the same rare tobaccos, but of different vintages and primings, as the Liga Privada. The powers that be at Drew Estate were so impressed with the blend they have released it as Liga Undercrown in 2011.

Cigar Shape

Robusto

The Robusto is a short Churchill size, traditionally 5 to 5.5 inches by a 50 ring gauge.

Cigar Section

Cigar Length

5"

This cigar is 5 inches long, or 127 mm.

Origin

Nicaragua

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Cigar Ring Gauge

54

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 54, so his diameter is 54/64 inches or 21.34 mm.

Strength

Full

Wrapper Color

Maduro

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).

None

Rolling Type

Handmade

Cigar Manufacturer

Drew Estate

Drew Estate was founded in 1998 by New Yorkers and friends Jonathan Drew and Marvin Samel. Their dream to make great cigars has turned into one of the best success stories in the industry, and their factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, called "La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate" is today one of the five largest premium cigar factories in the world.

Cigar Wrapper

Mexican San Andres Maduro

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. San Andres Maduro is a thick, medium bodied dark leaf, also called San Andres Morron. Like Connecticut Broadleaf, San Andres Maduro is stalk cut and used for binder and wrapper.

Cigar Binder

Brazil

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. Brazil grows tobacco from North to South. The East Central State of Bahia is an important cigar tobacco producer. The growing area is about 100 miles west of the state capital, Salvador da Bahia, an active port on the Atlantic Coast. The Northern State of Alagoas hosts a production around the city of Arapiraca where maduro wrappers are grown. The Southern states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina produce tobacco for cigarettes and pipe.

Cigar Filler

Dominican Republic

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.

Honduras

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.

A M A Z I N G! Beautiful cigar, fantastic flavors out of it, very similar taste to the Liga Privada #9. A terrific stogie!

this stick is definitely a go to smoke now. the smoke is super thick and creamy with chocolaty; leather/earthy flavor. consistent excellent burn and flavor throughout . its appearance is flawless and felt good in my hands, a solid cigar. I usually go for a spicier full bodied smoke, but this one was not spicy but excellent with a cabernet

I don't buy a box until I have tried several first and really, really liked them. I bought a box.

The cigar has a very robust flavor throughout. Smoothe draw has a toothy and hearty bite which makes you never want it to end

Set my expectations a little high. Great cigar but it is not a Liga Privada, maybe that was my mistake, I try this one with the intention of comparing them. Still a great smoke, but is missing a little something for my taste.

This is a winner, of course being a fan of everything Drew Estate, this cigar delivers every time. I have tried various sizes of this stick and agree that robustos burn a bit hotter thereby changing the flavor profile a bit. This is definitely a full bodies cigar and not for beginner.

Great cigar. Flawless appearance and construction. Ash holds well. Really good draw which opens up a bit more after the first inch or so. Delicious, full flavours of cocoa and leather. Exceptional value!

A bit tight but one of the best "everyday" cigars out there. Tons of creamy smoke.

I love the flavor and dense smoke these cigars provide, but there is something about the wrapper that I just don't like. It has a slightly odd taste to it. Other than that Undercrown is a winner in my book.

Not having the luxury of time, or wealth, doesn't mean you can't have a luxury cigar. The Undercrown's price and the robusto's size offer a wealth of luxurious smoke in a great package. I prefer the larger size, but this one has become a staple in my humidor. Smooth, rich, flavorful.

Drew Estate put out another great cigar for the masses when they released the Undercrown. Excellent construction with great taste and burn time. At about 1/2 the price of the Ligga Privada #9 it's a real winner in my book. I'll be looking to add more of these to my humidor.

I love this cigar! Super smooth, no harshness at all, produces a ton of thick smoke. Nice chocolate and nutty notes with sweetness. Draw was on the loose side and burn started to tunnel on me but that wasn't until the end with literally about an inch left. Definitely buying more of these.
